[Wes 10]

Chapter 1:
And then, There were 10.

Wes looked bored, staring at the clock hanging on the wall as Mrs. Dods, an elderly lady with very grey hair, droned on and on about pre-algebra. Specifically; Arithmetic Operations and how without them you were basically 'not doing them correctly.'

Wes already knew this crap. The reason? Because he was a 'model'-student. Many described him as intelligent, calm, cool-headed and respectful. Like many of his peers, but he was wiser in the decisions he made.

Certainly unlike his first cousin Audrey, at least.

This was the last day of school. and the students, especially the more intelligent ones, were waiting anxiously for the bell to just ring already! Wes looked at the clock one more time before he heard the bell ring.

"Now remember class, you can always go to summer school if you want. The school highly encourages you to do so. But we're not forcing you to do anything against your will…", Mrs. Dods finished as Wes went forward and handed Mrs. Dods the papers his parents signed.

"Not you dear. Your parents changed their minds once your grandfather offered to take you on a summer road trip across the country.", Mrs. Dods calmly explained to him as she refused his papers.

Wes let out a silent groan. His parents had always thought of him as anti-social, wanting him to get out of his comfort zone. Wes would always object with 'I have plenty of friends like; Andy, Chandler, and Conny.'

But apparently, that would always go on deaf ears. They would always respond with "Conny has a crush on you so it doesn't count, Chandler is more of an acquaintance, and Andy doesn't have enough time to hang out with you."

At least his cousin Audy wouldn't be on this Road Trip, right…? Right…? RIGHT?!

Wes then immediately knew that the universe wanted to screw with him, so Audy was going to go regardless…

Going outside, he found his Grandfather Maxwell, inside his R.V and waiting for him. It had been a few months since he had seen his grandfather, so he ran towards him like a Pronghorn.

He exclaimed, "Grandfather!", and jumped forwards and hugged him.

"Where were you? And why didn't you visit us for months? Where are we going first?" Wes began to shoot off multiple questions at once.

His grandfather seemed amused by all this before answering,

"Oh I was just getting preparations ready for the road trip with you and your cousin Audy", Wes only frowned, "I couldn't visit because I had a few issues to deal with", Max noticed his grandson's frown deepened and said, "oh, don't worry about it, It wasn't too much trouble. We'll be going to California for a couple of days before going to Washington D.C."

Wes replied, "I get going to California. It's only a state away. We aren't in New York or some equally far away state like New Jersey or Massachusetts. But The District Of Columbia? Grandfather, that is at least 40 hours and 4448.38775 exact kilometres away!"[1]

Maxwell jovially said "Oh don't worry, the Ol' Rustbucket has gotten a couple of upgrades since you last saw it", Max laughed Good-Naturedly, "Also, you know your cousin Joel? From your Great-Uncle Gordon's side?"

Wes only nodded.

Max said with a grin, "Welllll; he's getting married…"

"That's good for him", Wes gave a mental congratulations to his 1st cousin once removed.

"Well… His parents don't exactly… 'approve' of their relationship. It's because Camille, his fiance is… an immigrant, and he asked, well, begged really, me to help him convince his parents to let him marry camille."

Wes said, "And?"

"We're taking Camille's younger cousin, Lucy with us on the road trip…", Max explained.

"I don't really think that's the best-", Wes was interrupted by the door opening to a young, golden-blonde haired girl with whiskers on her cheeks, light Blue eyes, wearing a black, sleeveless shirt with a star on it and a red skirt.

"Uh, Mr. Tennyson? I think I may have accidentally clogged the toilet…", the girl said sheepishly.

Wes was impressed in a weird way. It would normally take weeks, even months to clog the toilet on the RustBucket. Yet she must have done it with extreme ease. [2]

"Wait, are you this supposed 'Lucy'?", Wes asked the blonde-haired girl.

She looked abashed before answering with a, "y…yeah…" Wes was normally a pretty good judge of character. She looked like a cheery, happy-go-lucky, perky girl. So her being abashed wouldn't likely make that much sense honestly.

"Call me Wes", the girl looked confused.

"My name's Wesley. But my friends and family call me Wes. And because your cousin is marrying my cousin, that would make us in-laws. Wouldn't it?", Wes asked the blonde-haired girl.

She blushed before taking his hand and shaking it. Her face was as red as a radish. Which wasn't very red. Just a little pink. She surely didn't have a crush on him right? He had only just met her! As he entered the RustBucket. He noticed something extremely purple. It looked like a mix of mud and a turd. Did she have a special illness? Deciding to pretend he didn't see it, he seated himself near the kitchenette. He just hoped his grandfather prepared something decent looking and actually tasty for the summer. Though his subconsciousness had already accepted that his grandfather wouldn't make any food a thousand kilometres near the word 'Normal' and 'Ordinary.'

Sighing, he noticed Audy's consoles laying around. She had her GameCube, Nintendo 64, and Super NES alongside her Handhelds,(Gameboy, GameBoy Colour, GameBoy Advanced, and Nintendo DS), there. it looked like Audy was still a nintendo fan through and through, She had like 30 games in there for each console and handheld. Wes always wondered how his cousin managed to convince her parents, and their grandfather, to agree on letting her pack her consoles, handhelds and games.

'Well, Audy has always been pretty resourceful and cunning', he thought before deciding to ask his soon to be in-law a few questions.

"So… Lucy… Where are you and your cousin from?", Wes asked as he opened one his favourite novels titled; "All Quiet On The Western Front."

He had almost finished reading it. And was about to read its 'sequel', "The Road Home."

She looked nervous before answering, "we're from Canada."

Wes could often tell when People were lying. But he found it difficult to detect any lies from her.

He said, "then why do Joel's parents dislike your cousin? Sure, technically you're immigrants, and they've been quite… known for their 'Patriotism'. But you're canadians. Another W.A.S.P Country that has many cultural similarities with the United States. So unless you're a french-canadian, I doubt they would disapprove so much that Joel had to beg grandfather to help him."

"We're from Quebec", she said, looking quite nervous.

"Ah. Great-Uncle Gordon and his wife Betty Jean are quite 'proud' of their Anglo-Saxon Protestant upbringing, so it makes sense that they wouldn't approve of French-Speaking, Quebec immigrants who were probably raised in a Catholic upbringing", Wes noted.

"So you aren't judging me and my cousin?", she nervously asked, Wes felt bad for the girl. She probably didn't have many friends, and the few she likely did have were a literal country away.

"No, not really. My dad did convert to Catholicism to convince my maternal grandparents to marry my mum. My mum was of Irish and Italian heritage and her family was and still is quite religious", Wesley explained as he finished the penultimate chapter of his book, deciding to put away his book and finish the final chapter before he was about to sleep. He looked at the shy smiling face of Lucy. Her smile was… rather pretty… And contagious. As he found out when he also smiled like her.

Lucy was blushing a little. Wes didn't know why? But his grandfather looked quite amused by it…

"So… what's your favourite food?", Lucy attempted to chit-chat.

"Chili Fries, you?", Wes decided to play her little game, just to find out how she would act.

"Oh, I love chilli fries!", Wes doubted it.

Wes said, "Oh really? What's your favourite type?"

"Ultimate Loaded flavour, But I don't mind Bacon or Texas flavours of Chili Fries", hot damn, she was the real deal! She had instantly gotten a large portion of Wes' respect now.

"Well, you're the real deal. Not many know about that flavour", Lucy blushed slightly more.

Time slowly passed as he and Lucy were discussing their favourite movies and tv shows. They both really enjoyed 'Static Shock', both liked 'Justice League' and 'Justice League Unlimited', they both really like 'Batman: T.A.S' and 'Superman: T.A.S' and liked 'The Outlaw Josey Wales' and the 'Karate Kid 1 and 2.'

"Well, we're here", Max replied, "Audy should be done with her Judo classes in a few minutes."

This perplexed Wes. How did they reach Olympia so quickly?! They were in Seattle! So unless time really flies by when you're having fun, or the RustBucket has ultra-powerful and advanced alien tech. Which was definitely absurd!

Wes asked, "how in John Brown's glorious beard did we get here so fast?!"

"They've built better roads now, and I've made improvements to the RustBucket. Plus, time flies by when you're having fun Kiddo", Max's eyes twinkled much like Dumbledore in J.K Rowling's Neoliberal World Of Harry Potter and Chiron from Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and The Olympians.

Wes was getting more Main Character vibes from this whole debacle, but for one decided to ignore it. As the argument was somewhat logical and could make sense.

"Well that does make SOME sense", Wes reluctantly concluded before deciding to pick up 'The Lightning Thief.' Lucy looked intrigued by the book, so Wes decided to ask her this, "want to help me re-read it?"

She only nodded.

A few minutes passed by as Wes and Lucy read the first few chapters of 'The Lightning Thief.' It wasn't until he heard his grandfather open the door did he realise Audy was supposedly finished with her lessons.

Him and Audy both looked quite similar and somehow nothing at all. They both shared the same eye shape and eye colour, and both had somewhat auburn hair. but for example both their skin tones were different: her being a tomboy, she had more tanned skin. Her auburn hair colour was a darker brown colour, while his looked more red or ginger than brown. Her hair was a messy bobcut while his hair was messy and reached to his ears. He had attached earlobes, while she didn't.

Their clothing was the opposite of each other as well. Her's were more… video game and sports related, like her wearing a grey t-shirt with the symbol of the triforce on it. While he favoured more casual clothing, like a checked red shirt with a dark-grey t-shirt with the silhouette of a eastern kingbird on it. She wore dark green basketball shorts, while he wore light brown cargo shorts.

And that didn't even include their personalities!

She was hotheaded and temperamental, while he was cool-headed and collected, she was more street smarts while he was more book smarts. That didn't mean she was dumb. Just often reckless.

She had a scowl on her face, probably from others bullying her for being a tomboy. Her face lit up once she saw Grandpa Max. "Grandpa!", she shouted as she tackled him to the ground with the Tennyson's infamous 'Infinite Strength.'

"Woah woah Pumpkin! Calm down", Max said jovially as he returned her hug.

"I can't wait to go on the summer road trip! Did you bring my games in case I get bored! Is anyone going to join us?!", she shot off a million more questions to Max.

"Well, why don't you go inside and find that out, Aye Pumpkin?", Max questioned his granddaughter.

When Audy opened the door, she went inside and didn't see Lucy and Wes there. Only her consoles, handhelds, and games.

"Thanks for convincing Mum and Dad to bring them Grandpa!", Audy excitedly spoke, Wes coughed as Audy turned her focus to him. Her face turned annoyed and spoke with an exasperated tone, "Grandpa, what is HE doing here? I thought he wanted to go to summer school."

Audy glared at Wes, which he returned full force. Lightning crackled within their eyes as Lucy felt uncomfortable, and Max looked like he'd seen this shite one six million too many times.

"Kids, I do NOT want another Chocolate Water incident happening again, understood?", Max tried to defuse the situation before realising that this was Wes and Audy he was dealing with, and promptly gave up.

"Uhhh… is this normal?", Lucy said as the tension was not only palpable, but stupid beyond belief.

Max groaned, "trust me Lucy, You'll get used to it…"

[Wes 10]

[In the cold, dead, empty vastness of space.]

Psyphon tripped as the ship he was in was shot. The spindly alien with skin as white as snow and eyes as red as blood got back to his feet as he quickly ran through the ship. He soon entered the bridge, where he saw his master sitting in a large chair. His master was a large alien with green skin, the same kind of blood red eyes, and their head resembling Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean.

Psyphon said, "Master! Master Vilgax, how goes your conquest?"

Vilgax growled in a booming voice, "the ship continues to evade us. But not for much longer… soon, the Omnitrix will be mine, and soon… the galaxy will follow!"

Psyphon gave an excitedly evil grin at his master's words.

Vilgax then said, "Psyphon, head to my chambers and bring me my weapons. Soon, we shall board the enemy ship and pry the Omnitrix from her cold, dead hands…"

Psyphon nodded and ran out of the bridge as Vilgax glared at the small ship they were in pursuit of. He felt victory right in his grasp! But little did he know, things were about to take a nosedive out of his favour…

"The only thing that is in the way of my destiny of conquering the universe, fulfilling my centuries long ambition… is a small ship with an old hag! There shall be no force in the entire galaxy that shall even conceive of the mere thought of stopping me when I have the Omnitrix!", Vilgax's already red eyes glowed as he snarled.

Psyphon had just returned as he gulped, as even he was now afraid of the lengths that his master would go to obtain the blasted watch. Psyphon feared he would even kill all his servants to obtain it.

Vilgax turned, grabbed his weapons from Psyphon, and made his way to a small hangar before he hopped on a small spaceship shaped like a spiked ball on a mace chartered to him, as Psyphon began the launch for the spiked ball. The small spaceship began to shoot off increasingly more and more powerful blasts as it was now enhanced by Galvanic Mechamorphs.

Psyphon then finally launched the spiked ball at the small spaceship. When it reached the small spaceship, it wrecked the ship as Vilgax made his entrance into the control room of the spaceship.

"Hello Xylene, How long has it been since we last met? 2, 3, 4 decades?", Vilgax snarled as he perceived her face.

She was a woman with tiel skin, three glowing purple/pink eyes, long arms and legs, noticeable curves, and two tentacles on her head.

Then the tyrant decided to make an offer to the plumber.

Vilgax growled, "Let's bargain, shall we? You give me MY omnitrix! The one I financed that insufferable Galvan to create! The one I protected in order to for him to 'repent' for the destruction of the Incursean home planet and the creation of Ascalon!"

"And in return for what?", Xylene asked the tyrant.

His face broke out into a dangerous grin as he bargained, "Oh, I know about your home planet's destruction. Join me and I shall rebuild it and restore your species to the glory they previously held! You shall be my hand and enforcer of the law!

Xylene seemed to hesitate, and considered giving the omnitrix to him before answering, "You make a tempting offer…", Vilgax's dangerous grin widened, "But you made the mistake of destroying MY ship!"

Then immediately Vilgax screamed as Xylene used her psychokinetic powers to try and crush his mind.

Vilgax continued to scream as he then rushed forwards and took out his mace. He managed to get a good hit in until he was punched in his gut. Xylene continued to punch him in the face multiple times before Vilgax feigned a punch to the right before kicking her in the left.

Vilgax sneered, "That is what you get when you refuse my mercy!" Vilgax was then shot by… a small Galvanic Mechamorph the size of a small dog or puppy? "Ship! Ship!"

"Any mercy you offer is no mercy Vilgax!" Xylene said as she spat on his face. Before doubting whether or not to kill him and risk the safety of the omnitrix or prioritise the safety of the omnitrix… Xylene reluctantly chose the latter as she and ship ran towards the room where the omnitrix was hidden.

Vilgax groaned as he felt numb before closing his eyes…

'NO!', he thought. If I will only have the omnitrix for a few moments before I die, it is better than to live and still not have it!', he mentally roared as he weakly stood up and attempted to walk with the use of the drones that just barged into the room. It was no use using the controls, as they were damaged with his and Xylene's fight.

Meanwhile, Xylene and Ship were fighting off a couple of special drones that Vilgax had ordered from the techadon weapon masters. They were specifically built to be extremely adaptable.

Vilgax reached the room, and before his very eyes, there it was! The omnitrix!

Vilgax saw it looked like a wristband with a wide band, it was primarily Black, White and Grey in colour. It had a dark grey faceplate in the middle of the dial. It looked like a red hourglass figure symbol in the dial.

Vilgax, with all of his remaining strength, attempted to rush forwards and claim his Prize...! Only to be shot by Xylene as he was nearing it. Vilgax let out his greatest scream! He was so close to his prize and universal conquest! So close…, Xylene and Ship were getting overwhelmed by the drones that Vilgax ordered. They were made of a special material that prevented Galvanic Megamorphs from absorbing them.

Xylene told this to Ship, "Ship, Listen carefully', Xylene put the omnitrix in a pod as she was struggling with restraining Vilgax, fighting the drones, and helping Ship, "I need you to protect the omnitrix, no matter the cost-", Xylene screamed as this time, she was the one shot by a combination of Vilgax and the drones combination attacks.

"SHIP!", the Galvanic Mechamorphs screamed and roared as he tackled Vilgax to the ground and absorbed some of the non-adaptable drones. He slashed, clawed, and shot at Vilgax's already weak and fragile body as he screamed and nearly died from it all.

Ship then grabbed Xylene and the pod.

"Ship, I'll be alright, I need you to protect the omnitrix from ending up in Vilgax's hands, and give it to Maxwell 'Max' Tennyson", she said as she telekinetically pushed the button and sent Ship and the Omnitrix towards the earth.

"Ship!" the Galvanic Mechamorph sniffled and cried before being launched into the cold, vastness of space and soon the earth.

"We'll both die, eh Vilgax…?", Xylene cursed as the drones prioritised protecting Vilgax over getting the omnitrix, and therefore went back to Vilgax's ship. Xylene was now sure that they were malfunctioning..

[Wes 10]

[California, Yosemite National Park.]

"I still doubt we managed to reach Yosemite National Park in less than 13 hours", Wes said, quite sceptical about it all. Lucy looked a bit nervous while Audy looked exasperated.

"Who cares! It still took us 3 hours to reach there! We were lucky that we reached before we fell asleep! Dork", Audy argued with her cousin about it. Wes gave an exasperated sigh before going away.

"I'm going to go get some wood, Dweeb", Wes said as he walked away.

"Do You and Wes always bicker and fight like this?", Lucy asked Audy. Audy blows her hair before deciding to answer her soon to be in-law.

She spoke in a deadpan tone, "Not always, It all started to change when his parents had to move away because of a job opportunity. Ever since then he has changed a lot. So have I but not as much as he did. When we were little he liked playing sports and video games with me. But now we rarely meet each other now.", Audy had a hint of sadness in her dead-pan tone, "He was like a brother to me, and the little brother that Ridley always wanted. I became a tomboy because that's what he and Ridley did. And I wanted to be included. My older brother always loved and cared for me, but he always wanted a little brother", Audy's tone was now a bit bitter and jealous.

"Oh, Okay…", Lucy said awkwardly.

Meanwhile, with Wes, he was just walking along until he decided to look at that starry night sky and look at the constellations, when he had seen what he assumed was a shooting star.

Then for what he assumed no reason, the shooting star started to approach him like it was a meteorite that was hit with another slightly larger meteorite from what he could see! Wes attempted to run before the meteorite crashed and landed on the ground.

Wes was temporarily knocked unconscious, but he swore he could have heard something like, "Professor Paradox."

Wes then woke up. He blurrily looked up to the sky. It had strangely only been a few seconds, or maybe minutes. Which didn't make much sense. Shakily standing up, he slowly went to see the crater that the meteorite had landed and crashed in.

He then noticed a strange, pod-like thing. When he attempted to go get a closer look at the thing, he felt the ground that he was standing on crumble like it had been used for ground deconstruction. He slid down the crater, nearly falling over before he found himself standing in front of the pod. The pod-like thing opened up to reveal… a strange-looking wristwatch? It was a combination of Black, White, and Grey in colours and had a strange looking dial with the symbol of a red hourglass.

As Wes stepped closer to the watch, it jumped up and latched itself on his wrist like it was an organic living thing! Wes screamed as the wristwatch bonded to his wrist.

"Why won't this thing come off?!", Wes yelled as he accidentally pressed the button in the middle, in an attempt to get it off him. What it really did was open up the dial? The dial changed from a red hourglass to a diamond figure symbol.

It had the silhouette of a jellyfish looking figure. Wes reluctantly pressed down on the dial. But once he did, he screamed as the watch went inside his wrist and injected a strange aqua-coloured texture into his skin. He felt his eyes change as the texture began going up and down on his body. He felt his legs and arms also change to that of a blue jellyfish.

"Aghhh! What happened to me! Why am I a huge, floating jellyfish! And how can I talk!?", Wes screamed as he looked at his body.

Wes accidentally pointed his left hand at a tree and shot off a lightning bolt!

"How'd I do that! I'm gonna die by burning to death! Wait a minute, I can fly!", Wes then attempted to fly, only to be tackled by a strange green and black creature with one eye.

"Ship! Ship!", the creature roared and snarled at Wes as he managed to shoot a strange green laser-like blast at Wes. Wes hollered before attempting to shoot Ship.

"Ship!", Ship cried as he looked at the omnitrix badge on top of Wes' head.

"Ship", Ship cried, thinking of how he probably had failed the objective that Xylene gave him. How she was dead because of him.

Wes slowly approached the strange creature and asked, "hey… are you alright…? What's your name?"

Wes slowly studied the strange Green and Black dog-like creature. The creature whimpered.

"It's alright, It's alright little guy", Wes slowly said as he chose to pet the dog-like creature. The creature seemed to slightly cheer up. And it then began to reciprocate and play with Wes.

"Ship! Ship!", Ship started to laugh as Wes tickled him. Wes then remembered that he accidentally started a fire. 'Well, one of the best ways to stop a fire is to start another fire. Coining the term, 'Fighting fire with fire.'

"Wes! Where are you!", Wes could hear his cousin Audy scream, being concerned with his safety. Wes didn't think of what would happen if his family and Lucy managed to see him like this.

'Oh crap!' Wes dejectedly thought as Audy and Lucy saw him. Audy gave her famous 'Wilhelm Scream' when they were just toddlers. Lucy jumped in front of Audy and… shot a strange purple mud-like substance from her hand…?

"What The BloodyHell!", Wes yelled as he barely managed to dodge that. Ship then jumped in front of the second shot that Lucy fired and then transformed into a strange robotic drone and started attacking Lucy.[3]

"Ship!", the strange creature growled before he started to grow spiked edges and began to spin them dangerously fast! Lucy looked paralysed with fear before being shoved out of danger by Audy.

"Ship, Audy, Lucy! Stop! It's me, Wes!", he said after jumping in front of the two parties. Audy looked horrified and sceptical while Lucy and Ship seemed confused.

"If you don't believe it, I can prove it!", Lucy and Audy reluctantly seemed to listen, but they looked cautious and defensive.

Wes said all together, "Audy, your favourite show is Danny Phantom, your favourite episode of Danny Phantom is 'The Ultimate Enemy.' Our favourite food is Chili Fries Ultimate Flavour. Ridley wants to name his car the 'Awesome-mobile.' We both were born in 1996, 27th of December. Your favourite games are Super Mario 64 and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. Lucy, you're from a family of Quebecois immigrants, your cousin Camille is going to marry our first cousin once removed Joel. Your favourite show is Static Shock. Your favourite movie is 'Batman' made by Tim Burton in 1989."

Audy and Lucy both looked shocked, before being horrified

"What happened to you!?", Audy yelled as she ran to him. The first time in a while showing care to him ever since his family moved to Seattle.

Audy hugged Wes. He was shocked, as she didn't do that ever since his family moved to Seattle. He hesitantly returned it.

"Why were you starting a fire?", Lucy questioned him. Wes and Audy both looked at each other before asking their own questions.

"What did you do with that weird purple mud-like projectile? And are you a mutant or alien?", Audy questioned her soon to be in-law and her cousin.

"One of the best ways to stop a forest fire is to start another fire. Coining the idiom 'Fighting fire with fire.', and what was up with those projectiles?", Wes was quite intrigued, but didn't let that stop him trying to stop the fire.

"I'll… explain later… I'll just say I was born like this…", Lucy said as Audy and Wes shared a look before nodding.

Once the kids finished stopping the fire with more fire with the help of Ship, they went and tried to explain the situation to Max after returning to camp.

"...and now, I'm stuck like a monster…", Wes sadly looked at his hands.

Audy placed an arm across his shoulder in an attempt to comfort him.

"You're not a monster!", Lucy shouted, to which both Audy and Wes confusedly looked at her, "I mean you look more like an alien!", Lucy hurriedly attempted to cover up.

Wes was suspicious, but decided to play dumb again. Then suddenly, they all heard a beeping noise coming from across Wes' head. Looking up they saw the badge-like device on his forehead glowing blue before it gave a large glow that encased Wes' form.

Opening their eyes, they saw Wes in his human appearance!

"Woah! I'm human again!", Wes looked at the watch around his wrist. It was now a blue colour instead of the previous red.

Wes hesitantly pushed the button in the middle again… and the dial popped up! But when he hesitantly and gently pushed down the dial… nothing happened!

"Woah, I'm guessing that this means it's in its recharge mode?", Wes deduced.

Wes looked at Ship, who only nodded.

Ship then began to hug Wes' right leg like an overexcited puppy. Wes started to laugh as he patted Ship's head.

Audy hugged him again and said, "Glad you're alright, doofus."

Wes only smiled, but noticed Ship getting a bit jealous. Ship tried to point in a certain direction. If Wes recalled correctly, it was the same location that the meteorite pod crashed and landed in.

Wes asked, "You want me to go there?"

Ship only nodded. Wes, Audy, Lucy and Max slowly began to follow Ship. When they finally reached there, they found the pod… unburnt and mostly undamaged…

When Wes went to see why Ship wanted him there, he noticed two extra objects in the pod. The first was a black and red key. The second was a green and white key.

"What could these be?", Wes muttered as he decided to keep them safe. He would probably use them as a last resort. Maybe it could enhance the watch or get it off him?[[4]

Then they heard a massive disturbance in the area. Wes looked at the watch, which looked to be recharged. He quickly pressed the button and cycled through the forms. He slammed it as a red hue surrounded him.

Wes felt the watch sinked into his flash like before it and his flesh were a liquid. Then a strange crab-like red armour began to form around his body. He felt two sets of eyes form. One on his chest, and the other on his face. His hands were then poking out with holes connected to the armour. He then felt a helmet form around his head.

"Woah, what's this alien do?", Wes questioned his new look as a bunch of drones appeared and scanned him for the omnitrix. Ship jumped up and became an advanced form of those same drones.

Ship began attacking those drones, so Wes assumed that they were hostile, and began to attack with his fists, as he was still unsure what this alien could do. It wasn't until one approachd Audy did Wes manage to shoot a boiling jet of water at the drone.

"Woah, so this guy can use Hydrokinesis, ah? I wonder if I can freeze the water as well?", Wes began to experiment on his new found powers and began to figure out how to efficiently use them.

"What do you call that guy? Water Hazard?", Audy asked as she picked up a shovel and began to mercilessly beat the drones with her cousin and his strange dog-like creature.

"Actually, that's not a bad name! Maybe I'll call the previous one AmpFibian", Wes saidUnbeknownst to them. Lucy was shaking from seeing Water Hazard. Memories of a younger Lucy came to her mind.[5]

"No! Please don't harm my daughter!"

"Too late!"

Lucy shook herself out of those memories. She needed to be strong! She ran and smashed a drone that had sneaked up on Wes.

"Thanks Lucy!", Wes noticed her as he began to shoot iced currents of water at the drones.

10 minutes had already begun to pass as the kids were starting to have fun.

The kids were laughing when they heard the badge beep as Wes was covered in the same blue aura-hue.

"Well that was fun-", Wes tripped as the ground shook.

"Is it another larger, more powerful drone?", Audy groaned.

"Probably", Wes said as He, Audy, and Lucy began to run towards it in hopes of stopping it before it caused irreversible damage. Wes looked at the watch as it was now fully recharged by the time they reached where the giant drone was.

Wes pressed the button once again, and began cycling through the alien forms, 'Eeny, meeny, miny, moe!', Wes chose as the watch once again merged with his skin.

His flesh began to change to a metal armor that was yellow in colour, his hands became a drill-like construction material. A tail began to pop out above his arse, and his face grew stoic as ears grew out of the top of his head.

"I think I'm gonna call this guy… Armour Drillo… no, how about Armodrillo!", Wes debated before he ran towards the huge drone and began to transform his hands into regular hands and stop a tree from hitting an elderly man.

"Hey, you alright old-timer?", Wes asked. The old man nodded and ran for cover.

Wes turned his hands into jackhammers and began to create a very powerful vibration that made the drone stumble and trip.

Seizing the chance, Wes propelled himself to the air, turned his hands into drills again and began to drill the drone. The drone, if it had emotions, would feel an EXTREME amount of pain.

Wes then saw Ship transform yet again and began shooting at the large drone to distract long enough for Wes to finish the job. When the drone was about to sneak a shot towards Wes, it malfunctioned and shot itself instead.

Once the fight was over, Ship began to… devour? The large drone and then began to absorb it. "Ship! Ship!", the dog-like creature yipped happily to Wes. Wes patted him on the head.

Looking around, he noticed all the damage that he (as AmpFibian, Water Hazard and Armodrillo) caused. Feeling remorse. He decided to help somewhat rebuild the park.

"What's your name sonny?", the old-timer approached him. Wanting to thank him for saving his life probably.

"Armodrillo, and could you get out of the way? I'm trying to rebuild the park… erh somewhat…", Wes said as the old-timer stepped out of the way. Wes began to use his jackhammer arms to attempt and rebuild the park.

It had been nearly 10 minutes when he was finished, hearing the beeping. Wes began to run as fast as his bulky form would allow… he didn't notice a couple of birds and tiny drones monitoring him…

Dr. Aloysius Animo was a brilliant scientist in the field of animal and genetic research. He believed himself to be the harbinger for change in the human race and that he would be the one to bring it to a golden age of prosperity.

So what if that meant that he had to conduct a few experiments on animals that would completely and utterly change their genetic makeup!? He had asked his animal friends and the researchers committee!

One single scandal had ruined his career! He was once living in 5-star hotels paid for by the wealthiest of the wealthy! But now he was barely scraping by living in a motel that would barely be considered 1-star!

Right now the only things keeping him going were the thirst for revenge, and his animal friends.

For ever since he was a mere boy, he could talk to and understand animals. The research of animals and genetic material had always fascinated him. As an animal empath, he could understand and feel the pain and struggle of animals.

So, when a few of his peregrine falcon friends visited him and brought him some much needed food, they also claimed to have seen an armadillo larger than a bear, stronger than 30 gorillas and weighed about as much as an elephant. It intrigued his interest, especially when they revealed they were in Yosemite National Park, where there were rumours of aliens.

Turning on the television, he then truly saw the magnificent creature! It had drills for arms and could change them to jackhammers! It was strong, durable, and powerful! It relit animo's thirst for knowledge. It called itself 'Armodrillo' So then, Animo had decided to try the animal experiments again! (with his animal friends' support and consent of course!)

Audy yawned as she woke up, Seeing that Wes wasn't on his bed, she thought she was daydreaming. When she started to do her morning rituals, she noticed that Wes still wasn't there.

It wasn't until she went inside that she noticed Wes was there as another alien. This one was a dark red with a yellow brow, yellow wings under their long arm, and a tail with a pointed yellow for-like end.. And then she realised that all the camping equipment was inside. She heard the beeping noise once again and Wes turned human again.

She asked, "What do you call that guy?"

"I call him Jetray, he's extremely fast and strong, capable of moving at hyperspeed and shooting lasers out of his eyes and tail", Wes answered after an awkward silence, Also… thanks for comforting me when I thought I would be stuck as AmpFibian", Wes spoke again with less confidence this time.

Audy smiled before punching him in the shoulder.

"No problem, Doofus", she said as Wes smiled.

AN1: For those wondering, I think it's extremely illogical to assume that Bellwood is in New York. The logic that Kuro uses is the fact that Kevin's house was in Bellwood and he couldn't get far even though he was missing for weeks if not close to a month. Kevin is shown to be a thief, it's likely that he stole some cash. And went on a train to NYC. and so tell me Kuro. How the hell did Max, Ben, and Gwen manage to reach Yosemite National Park in less than 42 hours! When Max said that he wants to reach it before Nightfall!

AN2: In this AU. the toilet is EXTREMELY hard to clog down.

AN3: The reason why Ship didn't transform into a drone and attack Wes as AmpFibian, is because Ship was feeling dizzy when being launched into the cold, dead, empty vastness of space and being crash landed on the hard ground. It would have taken him a few minutes to remember he could do it.

AN4: This story is an AU and an AR. it will combine elements from ALL parts of the Ben 10 franchines. O.S, A.F, U.A, O.V, The Games, and The Reboot alongside the toys. as for the keys. they are both the Omni-Naut Armour key and something else... It would make sense for Azmuth to create the armour for aliens who breathe in space.

AN5. Lucy is a lenopan, a people made out of mud, it would make sense why she would be afraid of Orishan and Cascans. Also, she has traumatic memories with them involving her mother which will be relevant later on.

Speaking Water Hazard. He's a hybrid between a Cascan (Overflow's species) and an Orishan (Water Hazard's species).

Another thing is the fact that Audrey is Xylene and Max's granddaughter. While Wesley… is murky… I'll leave it to a poll whether or not Wes should be a quarter anodite or a quarter uxorite…

Special thanks to my Beta Reader: B.E.A.T.N for helping me edit this chapter.

I randomly generated the first 10 of Wes' aliens.

Alien List:
AmpFibian
Water Hazard
Armodrillo
Jetray

As to how the aliens look. I've gotten permission from TheHawkDown to use his art for the aliens. TheHawkDown's version is how most of the aliens will look like. There are subtle differences like AmpFibian has the omnitrix badge on his forehead instead, but aside from that nothing major Or anything.

And guys and gals, remember to review each chapter. And if you have any questions you want me to answer in person, just leave a P.M alright? Is that clear mates?

As for my schedule:
I make no promises, but hopefully you dear readers would understand the fact I have school and won't be able to update as frequently as I would be able to like. Hopefully I will be able to update once a week or once every two weeks… maybe… If I'm lucky…

But honestly I'm not all too sure about it…

I guess we just have to hope for the best, and prepare for the worst.
